This study showed that miRNA expression is affected by H. pylori exposure. Two miRNAs were identified to be downregulated in H. pylori infection, and their targets are involved in proliferation, hence might account for hyperplasia and associated gastric motility conditions.

The authors discover an interesting interaction between H. pylori and CD46, which proved to have anti-H. pylori properties in vivo.

In this study, the authors sought to determine the role of commensal bacteria in the development of H. pylori-mediated pathologies. They used a gastrin overexpression to quantify the severity and time till the mice developed disease. Germfree mice took longer time to develop pathologies than monoassociated and specific pathogen-free (SPF) H. pylori-infected mice, whereas the SPF H. pylori mice developed a more severe phenotype than the monoassociated mice.

Gut 2011; 60:1479-1486. The authors show that H. pylori DNA carries unique immunoregulatory properties that are shed distally into the colon and are able to ameliorate colitis induced in animal models.

This study investigated the mechanism underlying the inverse association of H. pylori infection and asthma. Mice infected at neonatal stages displayed reduced rates of asthma, associated with an increase in Tregs and a decrease in dendritic cell maturation.
